Book review: 'North Carolina Lighthouses'
By Linda Brinson Special to the News & Record
Did you ever wonder why the Bodie Island lighthouse seems to be so far away from the ocean?
The answer to that question has to do with what happened to its predecessors, the first two Bodie Island lights.
Did you know that during World War II, Axis powers sank more ships off the North Carolina coast in 1942 than at Pearl Harbor the year before, and German U-boats often targeted vessels silhouetted against the Cape Hatteras lighthouse?
Did you know that one of the nine original, standing lighthouses still to be found in North Carolina is called Price's Creek, and, although it's on private, commercial property now, you can see it from the Fort Fisher-Southport ferry?
These nuggets are part of a treasure trove of information in the revised and expanded edition of "North Carolina Lighthouses" by Cheryl Shelton-Roberts and Bruce Roberts, who together have written several books about the lighthouses along our state's coast.
This book would be a useful guide for anyone who wants to include a visit to a lighthouse (or several) in a trip to our coast.
It gives information about which lighthouses are open for climbing, and when (and how many steps they have), as well as who owns them now and whether they still operate.
This book is also good reading for those who appreciate history, particularly the history of North Carolina's dangerous coastal waters and what people have done to make navigation there safer.
There are stories about daring rescues from wrecked ships as well as about operating the lighthouses.
The book puts the lighthouses into historical context, including their role in various wars, and their importance in economic development.
It also explains how lighthouses work and why the various lighthouses are built of differing materials and in different shapes.
As the book's jacket suggests, the book has the stories of the many North Carolina lighthouses over the centuries — those still standing and, in some cases, operating; those that are gone; and those that are replicas — and it also has "the stories behind the Beacons."
There are also many beautiful photos to delight fans of lighthouses and of our coast in general.

The St. Charles bicycle patrol unit is an "as needed" unit that was started in May of 1993 with the help of the staff from the Bike Rack here in St. Charles. The bicycle patrol is used to supplement the three patrol shifts during the summer months. They are directed by the shift supervisor as to what areas in the city to patrol.
In the past, you may have seen them working at the festivals, assisting with crowd control, finding lost parents, and maneuvering through the crowds to assist citizens. The bike patrol unit is used mostly at night, when the quiet stealth of the bikes is used to catch criminals in the parks and neighborhoods under the cover of darkness.
There are currently 18 officers trained in the use of the bicycle as a patrol tool and six specially outfitted mountain bicycles. Training consists of correct operation of the bicycle, speed drills, negotiating stairs, completing an obstacle course, maintenance, and remembering the "rules of the road."


How well do you know the NAC staff? Each week we will be highlighting a different employee across all departments to help you get to know the NAC team! Want to nominate an employee special to you? Fill out the form below!
This week's #TeamTuesday feature team member is Erin Lotta! Erin began her journey at the NAC to improve each members fitness experience. Erin joined our personal training team as a personal trainer in March. She specializes in strength training, team training and high-intensity workouts.
How do you make lives better as a personal trainer?
My mission is to help people become stronger. Everyone is in a different time in their fitness journey and I believe in meeting people where they are in that journey and challenging them to be better than imagined.
I have struggled with my weight for the majority of my life. I always thought that I had to be a certain size to try new activities and to workout in front of others at the gym. I was always a fitness lover but was only focused on running and cardio based activities until a few years ago. Running an hour a day, six days a week never resulted in the lean, toned body that I always dreamed of. A few years ago, I started lifting weights and focused on strength for the first time while still remaining fearful of becoming big and bulky. This changed my life! I finally got the toned, lean body I desired and became inspired to help others achieve change in their lives too.
I hang out with my husband and kids in my spare time. I lived in orange county for 10 years so we LOVE spending all day at the beach!
A big misconception about fitness and weight loss?
You can get the "toned look" without building any muscle.
Do you prefer training alone, with a partner or in a group?
I love working out with a partner or in a group because I believe workouts MUST be fun or I don't want to do them. There is nothing better than hanging out with your friends and pushing each other to be better. It's a plan for success.
Advice for those beginning their fitness journey?
Be patient with yourself. Weight isn't gained or lost overnight. For real results that stick you must be willing to commit to the journey!

FDA Warning Letters frequently cite acceptance activities, suggesting that device manufacturers may have implementation problems. This section is in the top ten Warning Letter citations. To avoid a 483 and a Warning Letter, you must understand the QSR requirements and implement them. This presentation explains the regulation, guides you to take action, and uses Warning Letters to illustrate problems.
This section plays a major role in both purchasing and in production. It is a major contributor to determine whether your supplier and manufacturing process are working effectively. Acceptance activities determine whether you can release finished goods for distribution.
Effective acceptance activities require well-written procedures, trained employees, and correct quality records. In addition, there is a major role that involves sampling, §820.250(b), acceptance status, §820.86, and nonconforming product, §820.90.
As you ensure that your Quality Management System meets FDA's regulations, you need robust acceptance activities. A gap could result in a Warning Letter, but even worse, it could also create a recall. This presentation provides the implementation information as well as the audit strategy to help verify your processes.

Boys & Girls Club Creates New Position: Head of Safety
By: greenwichfreepress | January 23, 2017
Retired Greenwich Police Dept Detective Steve Hickey will serve as the Boys & Girls Club's Head of Security. Contributed photo
The Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich (BGCG) hired retired Greenwich Police Officer Detective Steve Hickey to serve as its first ever Head of Safety.
The Club has taken steps to ensure the continued safety of the more than 325 members who attend Club activities each day. Safety is the Club's top priority and, in recent months, BGCG has hired more staff to monitor heavy traffic areas, implemented a walkie talkie system to keep program staff fully connected during after school hours, and, now, established a full-time staff position devoted to the safety of Club members.
As Head of Safety, Detective Hickey is responsible for all aspects of safety and security at the Club. During the After School Program, he will be a presence throughout the facility as well as in the parking lot. He will spend time at both Boys & Girls Clubs of Greenwich summer camps: the Clubhouse Camp on Horseneck Ln and the Camp Simmons property on Lake Avenue.
Detective Hickey will also guide the Club through all of its safety training including scheduled fire and lockdown drills and will ensure that Club safety practices are current with best practices and protocols.
"Having served the Town of Greenwich for 31 years as a member of the Police Department, I'm blessed to have joined the Boys & Girls Club. It's an awesome environment for the kids of Greenwich and, in the three weeks I've been here, the staff and members have welcomed me as if I've been here for years already! I'm looking forward to working with everyone upholding the safety standards and integrating myself with the staff, kids and counselors and moving forward with the Club making it to be the safest environment for everyone." – Detective Hickey
"Steve is an exceptional professional who will bring our safety efforts to a new level," said Bobby Walker, director of the Club. "His experience and his personality are a perfect fit for our Club and our safety plans going forward."
The Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich exists to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. It accomplishes this by providing a safe place for community youth to participate in programs and services that instill a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence.
The Club's members range in age from 6 to 18. More than 30 percent of members are eligible for free or reduced lunch; 25% of members come from single-parent households; and 54% of the Club's member families live at low-income levels as defined by HUD.
Children may participate in the after-school program from September – June for a fee of $50 for Greenwich residents or $150 for children whose parents work in Greenwich. In 2015, the Club provided more than $68,000 in waived or reduced tuition so children in need could attend summer camp programs.
Additionally, the Club granted $121,000 in college scholarships to teens and young adults who exemplify the good character traits valued by the Boys & Girls Club.

When Peaceful Protest Just Isn't Enough
Opinion Political Opinions
May 14, 2015 Nick Bramante
On April 14th, 2015, Freddie Carlos Gray Jr. was arrested by Baltimore City Police, to then later die in police custody. Since then protests and riots alike have sparked not only in Baltimore but across the United States as well, creating a social outcry rivaling that of the Ferguson events in August of 2014, and fueling a flame that has burned since long before the 1960's.
Debates rage across the United States as politicians, citizens, police, and countless others spit fire at one another, furiously debating the who, what, where, and how of the events that have unfolded since then. Letting the experts focus on that, many have neglected to come and talk about the why of the riots in Baltimore. Leaving the specifics of what exactly happened on April 14th, I ask why were there riots, and were they justified?
A protester rides his bike in front of a police line at North and Pennsylvania Avenues on Monday, April 27, 2015, in Baltimore. (Algerina Perna/Baltimore Sun/TNS)
To say that the social unrest regarding race in the United States began in the 1960s is really an understatement. Since the U.S was founded in 1776 there has been racial inequality for all, with racial tensions and injustices following close behind. With the Civil War and eventually the Civil Rights Movement, one would like to think that conditions today are better for non-white races in the U.S than in 1776.
This is of course true by a long shot, but the question is are the conditions good enough? Over 200 years later racism is still very much an important if not dire situation in the U.S. Granted, racism is a human-wide problem, not just an American one, but white privilege (whether people realize it or not) is still too prevalent today to ignore.
So the question remains, were the riots in Baltimore justified? Now to be clear I don't condone using violence to push any kind of social or political agenda by any means. If anything can be seen repeating through history it is that violence leads to more violence, which I condemn. However, people do not just up and riot for no reason. Whether you agree with the reasons for rioting or not, it is foolish to think that people enjoy rioting just to riot.
Those caught on the media now, looting stores and burning down buildings, do not stand for anything the protestors at Baltimore do; they are opportunists at best using Freddie Gray as an excuse to carry out their own wrongful agendas. But if the riots were purely spawned from the protests that occurred, can we really blame the people of Baltimore?
Before jumping to any conclusions (just as those in the media have) it is imperative to understand that unless you are part of a racial demographic that is discriminated against in the U.S, you have no idea what life is like for said people. That isn't necessarily because of ignorance; white people have no idea simply because it's impossible to do so. They cannot understand the pains and struggles of another race simply because they aren't of that race.
How could they understand? This is not an excuse to be ignorant of racial dilemmas in the U.S however, as many people unfortunately still are. Putting this in perspective, is anyone in the media justified in any accusations thrown forwards at Baltimore?
It all boils down to this: riots do not just happen. People do not just claim to have suffered hundreds of years of grief at the hands of racism and have proof to back it up. It's real, it's true, and unfortunately it's ugly. Peaceful protest is of course the preferred and hopefully used form of social change, but how long can we as a society expect a group to hold out if no real changes are coming through? Progress is measured in actions, not words.
All the politicians in the world can pledge to making equality in the U.S real, but unless it happens, and I mean REALLY happens, riots such as the ones in Baltimore are not completely unjustified. The riots in Baltimore are not the route anyone would want to have to take, but sadly, maybe it's the route that needed to be taken.
Baltimore, Freddie Gray, racism, riots, social justice

A Far Cry from Kensington
Wickedly and adroitly executed.
The fraying fringes of 1950s literary London
Fiction by Muriel Spark
Nancy Hawkins, the majestic narrator of A Far Cry From Kensington, takes us by the hand and leads us back to her threadbare years in postwar London, where she spent her days working for a mad, near-bankrupt publisher ("of very good books") and her nights dispensing advice at her small South Kensington boarding house. She found evil everywhere: shady literary doings and a deadly enemy; anonymous letters; blackmail; and suicide.
Looking back on those years from her new perch in Italy, Mrs. Hawkins recounts how that time changed her life forever, using the novel as a platform for advice. "It's easy to get thin," she says. "You eat and drink the same as always, only half… I offer this advice without fee; it is included in the price of this book."
Paperback (published May 27, 2014)
Ebook (published May 27, 2014)
20th century Scottish novelist, poet and essayist
Muriel Spark was a major 20th-century writer, an extraordinary and unique talent: her gifts were unusual — a piercing eye; an acute ear; an incisive, often caustic wit; a voice so distinctive; and a style so inimitable.
Outstanding: an effortless, translucent grasp on the spirit of the period.
A 1950s Kensington of shabby-genteel bedsitters, espresso bars—irradiated with the sudden glows of lyricism she can so beautifully effect.
—The Sunday Times (London)
The divine Spark is shining at her brightest—pure delight.
—Claire Tomlin, The Independent
Far Cry is, among other things, a comedy that holds a tragedy as an egg-cup holds an egg.


Centralized exchanges are a common security concern in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. As a single point of failure they can be strong-armed by governments, routinely targeted by hackers, or operators could pull an exit scam and elope with client funds. Despite these risks, they dominate cryptocurrency trading volumes. A new solution promises to enable trade to use centralized exchanges but without handing over control of coins to them.
Boston-based startup Arwen (formerly Commonwealth Crypto) announced on Jan. 28 the release of its testnet trading application. The company aims to bring atomic swaps to mainstream cryptocurrency trading with its technology. Using the service, traders can deposit their coins in an onchain escrow, rather than with an exchange, removing the need to trust the centralized venue to handle the money. This allows them to maintain custody of their coins while trading on a centralized exchange without having to transfer coins to the exchange's omnibus wallet or their keys to a third-party web server.
Arwen also announced it is teaming up with the popular Singapore-based global cryptocurrency exchange Kucoin to offer its customers the possibility of using the new service. In addition to Kucoin, the startup reports being in talks with other exchanges about integrating the protocol. It currently supports trading on BTC, LTC, BCH, ZEC and ETH as well as ERC20 tokens.
What do you think about using a protocol such as Arwen's for trading? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Unlike Western Medicine, those in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) are based on inherent rules or patterns, which can be considered as causal links. Existing approaches tend to apply computational methods on semantic ontology to do knowledge mining, but it cannot perfectly make use of internal principles in TCM. When it comes to knowledge representation, we can transform this inherent knowledge into causal graphs. In this paper, we present an approach to build a TCM knowledge model with the capability of rule reasoning using OWL 2. In particular, we focused on the causal relations among syndrome and symptoms, changes between syndromes. We evaluated our approach by giving two typical use cases and implemented them using Jena, a Java framework supporting RDF, OWL, and including a rule-based inference engine. The evaluation results suggested that our approach clearly displayed the causal relations in TCM and shows a great potential in TCM knowledge mining.

On the topic of "NOTES"
A Pathetic Writer
www.wga.org/WrittenBy/0105/muse.html
A story about the production notes that almost destroyed Willie Loman.
Ravenlocks01
I like my notes green with a picture of a former president on them.

Re: NOTES and MILLER
Interesting article - especially the first part.
The latter half gets a little preachy.
To use Arthur Miller's experience of rewriting
DEATH OF A SALESMAN and compare it - in
such a general fashion - to the experiences
of all other writers seems pretty bold.
Most writers are not Arthur Miller. No work
of drama can be compared to DOAS.
Miller was a genius. Our modern day
Chekhov and Ibsen. (Only he was more
prolific.)
DEATH OF A SALESMAN is the best play
written in the 20th century.
Miller's use of flashbacks in DEATH OF A
SALESMAN was the first time flashbacks
were devised to advance the story -
instead of solely delivering expository info.
Nowadays, writers will always hear, "The
flashback must advance the story, not
stop it." Well, no one said that before
Arthur Miller did it.
Many writing boards have had tributes to
Johnny Carson and the likes upon their
passing - but most didn't seem to notice
the passing of Arthur Miller.
I first met Miller when I was a grad student
and, after the initial shock of shaking hands
with a man that @#%$ Marilyn Monroe,
I was amazed that such a brilliant writer
would talk with a New York accent. It
made him seem so real to me. He was
an amazing teacher and - remains to this
day - my idol.
kitnerboy
The NY Times ran a feature obituary, and it was kind of sad to think that Miller's career wound up the way it did. (Kind of like if Johnny Carson wound up on Nebraska public access tv).
Their theatre section still has a nice tribute section up.
When I was in high school, I took remedial English classes (I was not dumb, just a JD). The funny thing was, the teacher would never ask us to read (he knew better), but he would bring in videos of things he had taped off of tv to enlighten us, like the episode of Moonlighting where they did 'The Taming Of The Shrew'.
He also brought in the Dustin Hoffman version of Death Of A Salesman, and that was probably the first time I can remember wanting to be a writer.
britwrit
The cheapest shot of them all...
Wow. Elia Kazan betraying someone he's worked with? What a surprise...
(Sorry. Couldn't help it).
Johnny Stacatto
Let me be clear. I don't mean to suggest here--to do so would be absurd--that every screenplay is a cinematic equivalent of Death of a Salesman.
so yeah, i don't think nicholas kazaan was trying to compare most writers to arthur miller.
Gillyflower Cooms
Then why bother telling that story? It seems like he used it as a catalyst to step up on his soapbox but then back peddled with that sentence.

Re: Article
I knew a guy who was the head of development "notegiver" at a production company run by a big action star - It was a vanity deal, they never made any movies - He left and went on his own to be a producer.
One day while driving down the 405 with him, we started discussing classic films of a certain genre; "Three Days of the Condor" The Parallax View" and "Marathon Man." He had not seen any of them. But what was worse, he never even heard of them. I was dumbfounded. He was a former head "notegiver" and wants to be a producer, and never heard of these films? I mean he was young, but not 3. I couldn't believe it, but it crystallized my notion that the town was full of people on all levels that weren't really film lovers. But I can assume there are a lot of people doing things in life they weren't really meant to do; lawyers, doctors, postal workers, nannies and house painters.
Oh yeah, my friend's revelation came while we were coming up to the exit for LAX. I swear, I almost had him exit the freeway and take me to the airport, so I could get the hell out of this crazy town. But I didn't.
There are good notes and there are bad notes, but it is often uncertain which is which.
True detachment - as a writer - it one of the hardest things to master, because, everyone has some kind of an ego, fear, desire to be loved. Seperating criticism of the work, from criticism of the person, even when none is intended, can be very hard.
Does this improve the story?
Is this better than what I have before?
Is this changing a message I am passionate about?
Do I really care?
Do I care if I lose this cheque and never work again because people consider me a "difficult writer"?
These - and questions like them - are the sorts of things writers should be asking themselves when they get notes.
I have yet to write a script that couldn't be improved in some way, whether the notes come from producers, seasoned readers or the guy that collects my garbage.
I suppose it depends on how attached you are to you work, and how much you want the money on offer. Those are the things that will determine whether you take on board notes you don't believe in.
Miller was a genius whose like we'll probably not see again, but even he probably took notes from time to time
greyghost
Let's see your masterpiece
The next time someone gives you a bunch of notes about your screenplay, ask to see his/her masterpiece screenplay to use as a guide. Also, ask him/her, "If I make every change suggested, will you guarantee me a sale?"
Anyone who has ever worked in sales knows the guy who comes in and says, "If you only had one in red, I'd buy it."
Of course, the guy wouldn't buy it in any color. You have to know a "real" buyer when you talk to one.
When I was learning to fly an airplane, I had a flight instructor who wore a t-shirt that said, "If you ain't a pilot, you ain't @#%$."
Screenwriters need a t-shirt.
Re: Let's see your masterpiece
The other thing to keep in mind is a good portion of notes are subjective.
PipeWriter
That's possibly the worst advice I've seen on this board.
Masterpiece...
The problem with this sort of thinking is that
you'd have to dismiss notes from producers
like David Brown or Jerry Bruckheimer (to
name two of many) - simply because they
have never written a screenplay.
Re: Masterpiece...
In the advertising business, there's always a tension between 'the suits' (execs) and 'the creatives' (writers and artists). One side thinking the other side is 'not getting it.'
But I've always looked at it like a 'checks and balances' system that turns out a more effective ad campaign. By effective I mean, successfully makes the cash register ring.
A good writer or artist has a gut instinct for knowing when a "Suit's" input improves the end product or when it's time to stand firm.
And a good exec will know when it's wise not to over-ride a writer's or an artists' vision.
Then again, not everyone is 'good' at their job.
Vining Wolff
I'm going through this with a producer that recently optioned one of my screenplays, which we're polishing to go out to studio and financers.
Luckily it isn't a case of "do this cause I think it's the right thing". Most his notes are pretty bang on... the odd one I've come back and said it can't make work, explained why and he will agree. His notes usually start with "is it possible..."
In a way it's the "checks and balances" notion at work.
I'm not sure how I might react to the "not so good exec" I've had run ins with a few in the oil business and uh, well, what's the expression
Don't suffer fools gladly....

How do I thank all of you for making the impossible happen. When my family first learned about how...[our daughter's killer]...got out of prison, we went to several law firms. Most of them told us that the case was "unwinable."...Then we found Parker & Waichman. Jerry [Parker], the only way I can describe our first impression of you was that you were a "bulldog." ...You took on and welcomed the challenge of an "impossible" case... When we reached the trial stage, Andy [Alonso] took over. Andy, you were amazing. You explained everything to us, not once, but time and again. You advised us as to the best course to follow and always made us feel that we could come to you with any question (and there were many)... Arnold [DiJoseph], while we didn't get to know you as well as we got to know Jerry and Andy, not to also thank you would be unthinkable. You got us through the appeals. Without your expertise, we would not be celebrating today....Words are inadequate to express our gratitude. The loss we suffered was an unimaginable tragedy and no amount of money can bring Michelle back. But there is comfort in knowing that she was able to leave something very substantial for her boys... As Laura said to me just this morning – because of all ...[your] hard work, Michelle is able to give her children a wonderful gift.
We cannot express how much your kind and compassionate representation has meant to us during our adoption proceeding. Although it was a long and complicated process, you were always there for us and kept us fully informed of everything that was going on. Now that we are a family, we will always remember that it was you that made it possible.
Thank you for all you have done for me and my family. After I was paralyzed, I had given up hope. You stood by me as more than just my attorney, you were a true friend. I can never thank you enough.
If it had not been for you, our adoption may never have taken place. Your encouragement and refusal to have us give up even when the process became overwhelming kept us going. We know that your personal experience with adoptions allowed you to know what we were going through and that made all the difference.
We have had relationships with many law firms over the last 15 years and for the last 5 years have exclusively utilized...[your] services. These are some of the reasons we have chosen to use your firm. They are very knowledgeable in their field and work very hard researching all aspects. This is the only law firm that we have used that will provide prompt, courteous service. They have an excellent rapport and always provide 110% effort in dealing with our clients. Last, they are extremely trustworthy, and we have always been able to count on them.
We are certain that no other appellate attorney would have achieved the same incredible result for us with respect to this very complicated appeal.
There are few attorneys who would have gone through the numerous legal procedures we had to endure at great financial risk to yourself in order to obtain the positive result you achieved in our case.


There will be sold the first Tuesday in October next before the court house door in Cartersville, Ga., pursuant to an order of the Hon. W. C. Black, Ordinary of Gordon county, Ga., the following described lot in the suburbs of Adairsville, Ga., containing four acres, more or less, on which is a neat four room cottage, well and peach orchard, situated on the Calhoun public road, north of Adairsville; bounded west by W. & A. R. R. north and east by the Adairsville road and Scott lands, and south by Loudermilk lot as part of the estate of Joshua Bowdoin, deceased, for distribution among the legatees. Terms: one-fourth cash, balance due the first of January, 1887, with interest from sale of bond and for titles. If it should appear to be the interest of the estate, the final payment will be extended to the first of July, 1887.

Hailed as one of the greatest tributes a husband has ever paid to his wife, Italian director Federico Fellini's real life partner Giulietta Masina (La Strada), plays her namesake and delivers a superb performance in this internationally acclaimed classic.
Giulietta is a bored, timid and unfulfilled wife. Suspecting her husband's infidelity, she enters a surreal journey of self-discovery filled with wild dreams and enchanting fantasies, much of which involve her sexually liberated neighbour Suzy (Sandra Milo).
With a whimsical score from Nino Rota, Fellini moves on from neo-realism and defines 'Felliniesque' in this breathtakingly beautiful carnival ride.
Winner of the 1966 Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film, Juliet of the Spirits (Giulietta degli Spiriti) is Fellini's fantastical first ever feature-length colour film which now makes its Blu-ray debut courtesy of CultFilms.
This exceptional HD restoration is released in dual edition including its first ever UK Blu-ray version alongside the DVD, as well as available digitally on all UK platforms including Amazon on 24 September 2018.

How to watch the Australian Open 2022 online from anywhere in the world


UHF CB antennas need little introduction. They are the vital like between our trusty radios and the chatter of approaching vehicles and our convoy comrades.
On our new Cruiser we fitted an RFI CDQ5000 UHF CB Antenna. RFI have been manufacturing antennas in Australia for over 30 years, and have a solid reputation within the Emergency Services, so we were keen to give them a go.
Antennas are quite like driving lights, it doesn't matter how well they work on the tarmac if they rattle themselves to pieces off-road.
After our recent 8,000km trip, which included the bone-rattlin' corrugations of the Great Central Road and the bumps of the Simpson Desert, we can report the heavy duty stainless steel spring of the CDQ5000 didn't budge.
Small details like the rubber O-ring aren't a common feature, and it did a superb job of keeping the connection between the base and antenna bulldust free.
The whip itself is made from high impact fibreglass, which has handled the usual interactions with narrow tracks with ease.
Most uniquely is RFI's patented Meander Flex Printed Circuit Board (PCB). Unlike other construction methods the internals are essentially joint free and can flex. This makes for an extremely strong antenna internally, and assists in the consistency of performance.
The CDQ5000 is a 5dBi antenna. While 9dBi is great for flat country, and 3dBi performs better in steep terrain, we find 5dBi antennas are the best all-rounder.
Paired with our Icom IC-450 UHF CB radio the CDQ5000 provided crystal clear comms. Crossing the Simpson we could pick up the the broadcast of other travellers with many kilometres to spare, making it easy to take extra caution cresting dunes.
RFI Antennas have a standard Quick Fit (Q Fit) base. It's a simple matter of unscrewing the antenna to fit a different one. A common choice is RFI's City/Country Pack which includes a short 4.1 dBi whip to help negotiate the carparks and garages of the urban jungle.


From his spot in Speakers Circle, Harlan upholds his reputation of brightening students' days.
Just as the clock changed to 9:40 a.m., the giant fluffy white Great Pyrenees Harlan and his owner, Cris Wood, entered Speakers Circle. Harlan hopped straight up onto his pedestal, one side of the wall half-encircling the space, with an ease that made it clear he had done this many times before. Wood stepped back to supervise his dog, knowing 6-year-old Harlan wouldn't go anywhere except his platform.
Wood has been walking dogs on campus since before Harlan was even a part of his life, including his past dogs Chester and Harry before Chester passed away. Left with just Harry, Wood got Harlan and the duo started to become infamous on MU's campus, known as the "polar bear dogs." After Harry passed away from cancer two years ago, Harlan was left as Wood's sole pet.
For many students, Harlan certainly looked majestic up on his platform with his head up, fur waving in the wind. It was easy to see how he and his late brother took off as such a staple of MU's campus, being featured in homecoming floats and skits. Wood said petting Harlan has become nearly as lucky for some students as rubbing the nose of the bust of David R. Francis in the Francis Quadrangle. This notoriety, however, has hardly seemed to have phased Wood.
As easy as Wood may claim it is, sophomore Nikki Bowman is glad Wood puts in the effort to walk Harlan on campus as often as he does. Seeing Harlan on her way to her Spanish class tends to put Bowman in a great mood for the day.
Although Wood and Harlan have been walking the campus for years, his ability to brighten the days of those on campus has not ceased, and the trend of meeting Harlan has yet to die out. Every time he visits Speakers Circle, more students pause to pet him and say hi, upholding his spot as a traditional part of MU culture.
Bowman, being one of these students who loves Harlan, attributes the dog's consistent popularity with what he brings to the campus. He is present often enough to become a part of students' routines, and he offers a rare opportunity to pet a dog and give students who may be missing their own pets a taste of home.
As Wood observed, a break in the crowd caused a lull in the people coming up to pet Harlan. Harlan swung his head around, as though searching the crowd for people who may approach.
Though Wood and Harlan live in Columbia, Harlan has visited several other campuses across the country. Wood said his dog gets the same reaction from excited students no matter where they are. The two also disappear in September for a few weeks for Wood's yearly trip to Lake Superior. Besides these annual trips, however, Harlan can be found in Speakers Circle most days of the week between 9:40 and 10 a.m., just in time for the 10 a.m. class change, so that students can stop and say hi. For those who may want more Harlan, though, he does have a Facebook page under the name Harry Harlan as well as an Instagram, @harry_and_harlan.

Alleged Forgery: First Bank defence team borrowed N2bn to fight me- Petitioner
9:36 AM Fashola MC POSCABA 0 Latest News in Nigeria
Dr Francis Nwufoh Administrator of WhitePlain British School Abuja who petitioned the House of Representatives Committee on Public Petitions on alleged forgery of documents for the take over of the school by First Bank of Nigeria over failure to repay a loan of N630 million has said that the bank defence lawyers told him point blank that they borrowed N2 billion to fight him on the matter.
Nwufoh who appeared for the third time alongside the First Bank defence team had lamented that despite the fact that he had paid a substantial part of the money in dispute, the bank is hell-bent on taking over the school.
He told the House Committee that he didn't sign any mortgage for the loan and added that he had paid a substantial part of the amount in question which is set to expire in June 2019.
The petitioner said that out of the total sum of N630 million, he had paid N310 million in two years out of the five years which is the expected period of the loan expiration.
But the First Bank defence team led by Mr. Bola Olotu Esq said that the petitioner wrote to the bank severally to borrow the said sum in other to finish the school building project.
The Committee Chairman Hon. Uzoma Nkem Abonta who was represented by Hon Simon Arabo a committee member told the parties that they are still looking at the documents to decipher the truth in the whole matter.
The lawmaker added that the Committee would not hesitate to recommend the prosecution of any individual found culpable in the allegation of forgery of documents on the matter under investigation by it.He adjourned to April 10, 2019

Brrr it's freakin cold. The house it an icebox! I heard it's gonna snow some more tomorrow. Blast it!
Today was the first day back to school. I'm taking physics now instead of anthropology. I hope I have a good teacher like Iqbal. It's five courses on MWF. What a load! Just my English books cost $97 and that's excluding two. English is such a costly language. I started reading The Glass City and I have to say it's pretty interesting. It's all about the author's take on Vancouver and he writes in short blurbs so I don't get really bored. Heh. Maybe I'll read some more before I go to bed.
It was also my grandpa's birthday today. He's either 86 or 87; my relatives couldn't agree on that point. We went to his place to eat. Nothing much. But as I said it was FREAKIN COLD. My toes froze. I can't feel them anymore. I think I need to amputate them or something. Sunny's water froze too and he jumped up the sink to drink water cuz he couldn't drink any of his. Darn cold weather. It's either unbearably hot or icy cold. But then it's always cold in my house. No matter what the weather.

We pride ourselves on the wide range of projects that we work on here at Conker House and that breadth of interest certainly keeps us motivated and engaged. Despite the disparate nature of current projects on our desks, it feels like quite a few of them are sending us the same message – that it's important to take the time.
In her most recent blog, Fiona Murden urges us to take the time to get to know the people around us. As she points out, "Everyone has their own story, each one of us has experienced different things and lived life in a unique and personal way". Unless we pause and talk to people, or more importantly, listen to people, we will never discover that wealth of stories.
We all too easily become absorbed by phones, screens and the internet. I was interested to read Kevin Parr's blog about an unplanned internet break when a wi-fi problem left him cut off for ten days. "And it's been rather nice. I've dusted off books rather than rely on Google, and [we] have talked and sat and watched and absorbed". Sometimes an enforced break like this is the only way to remind ourselves of those stronger and deeper connections – to books, to people.
So, if you do something differently today, just try to take a little more time – whether it's to say hello to someone rather than staring at your phone; to pick up a book rather than searching the internet; or to engage with nature – as I did when I admired the new growth on our conker tree. We can learn so much from nature if we just take a moment to observe it.


Which Radiographic Hip Parameters Do Not Have to Be Corrected for Pelvic Rotation and Tilt?
Background Acetabular anatomy on AP pelvic radiographsdepends on pelvic orientation during radiograph acquisition. However, not all parameters may change to a clinically relevant degree with differences in pelvic orientation. This issue may influence the diagnosis of acetabular pathologies and planning of corrective acetabular surgery (reorientation or rim trimming). However, to this point, it has not been well characterized. Questions/purposes We asked (1) which radiographic parameters change in a clinical setting when normalized to neutral pelvic orientation; (2) which parameters do not change in an experimental setting when the pelvis is experimentally rotated/tilted; and (3) which of these changes are ''ultimately'' relevant based on a prespecified definition of relevance. Methods In a clinical setup, 11 hip parameters were evaluated in 101 patients (126 hips) by two observers and the interobserver difference was calculated. All parameters were normalized to an anatomically defined neutral pelvic orientation with the help of a lateral pelvic radiograph and specific software. Differences between nonnormalized and normalized values were calculated (effect of normalization). In an experimental setup involving 20 cadaver pelves (40 hips), the maximum range for each parameter was computed with the pelvis rotated (range, −12° to 12°) and tilted (range, −24° to 24°). ''Ultimately'' relevant changes existed if the effect of normalization exceeded the interobserver difference (eg, 37% versus 6% for prevalence of a positive crossover sign) and/or the maximum experimental range exceeded 1 SD of interobserver difference (eg, 27% versus 6% for anterior acetabular coverage). Results In the clinical setup, all parameters except the ACM angle and craniocaudal acetabular coverage changed when being normalized, eg, effect of normalization for lateral center-edge angle, acetabular index, and sharp angle ranged from −5° to 4° (p values < 0.029). In the experimental setup, five parameters showed no major changes, whereas six parameters did change (all p values < 0.001). Ultimately relevant changes were found for anteroposterior acetabular coverage, retroversion index, and prevalence of a positive crossover or posterior wall sign. Conclusions Lateral center-edge angle, ACM angle, Sharp angle, acetabular and extrusion index, and craniocaudal acetabular coverage showed no relevant changes with varying pelvic orientation and can therefore be acquired independent from individual pelvic tilt and rotation in clinical practice. In contrast, anteroposterior acetabular coverage, crossover and posterior wall sign, and retroversion index call for specific efforts that address individual pelvic orientation such as computer-assisted evaluation of radiographs. Level of Evidence Level III, diagnostic study. See the Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

10 Reasons Bobby Jindal Is NOT The Next Barack Obama
The Republican party is like a 14 year old right now: smelling strange, awkward and confused about what to do with that peach fuzz on its upper lip. The current GOP is trapped in an identity crisis to rival all others and after the monumental failure and embarrassment of, generally, the 2008 McCain campaign and, particularly, Sarah Palin, it comes as no surprise that this flailing value-less party is searching desperately for a Messiah.
As if Michael Steele's ill-conceived "hip hop" makeover wasn't bad enough. Now you guys throw poor Kenneth Bobby up there to rebut the Stimulus Package… Here are the top 10 reasons Gov. of Louisiana, Bobby Jindal, can't light a candle to his opening act, Barack Obama:
10. Whereas Barack Obama reclaimed his birth name, and thus his primordial identity, after being called Barry for much of his youth, Bobby Jindal rejected his birth name, Piyush, opting instead to go by "Bobby", after Bobby Brady.
…Uhh, deep thoughts… (WTF?!)
9. Bobby Jindal = Kenneth Parcell; Barack Obama = Superman. 'Nuff said.
8. Jindal's delivery…. sucks. Barack Obama's NEVER does.
Jindal's BAD national debut here.
7. David Brooks, conservative columnist for The New York Times doesn't even like Jindal. And that's pretty sad. Brooks described Jindal's debut as "a disaster for the Republican party."
6. Jaise Uncle Tom tha, vaise Bobby Jindal gorey Republican ka chamcha hai, nahmean? Ha!
5. Despite receiving a degree in Biology from Brown, Jindal is still a proponent of teaching "intelligent design" in schools. Go figure.
4. Barack Obama declared America a nation that "does not torture" last night. But did you know that Bobby Jindal signed a bill authorizing the chemical castration of those convicted of certain sex offenses? Ouch.
3. He's a poser. After publicly opposing President Obama's Stimulus package and defiantly refusing the $3.8B that was coming to Louisiana, he quietly turned down $98 million and took the rest: $3.7 Billion. Way to take a stand.
2. Where Obama made, and continues to make, serious and game-changing efforts to transcend race, Bobby Jindal is the latest pawn in the Republican Party's thinly veiled attempt at leveraging identity politics in an otherwise indentity-devoid post-election GOP. (read: Sarah Palin)
AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON BOBBY JINDAL AIN'T NO BARACK.. ::drumroll please::
1. Barack Obama met his wife at a law firm in Chicago. Bobby Jindal may have met his wife at her exorcism.

Constantinides Appointed Chairman of Environmental Protection Committee
NYC Council | July 9, 2015
The Council of the City of New York
Office of Council Member Costa Constantinides
Contact: Shachar Sharon
New York City Hall – Council Member Costa Constantinides was appointed Chair of the Council Environmental Protection Committee. The appointment, in Res. 766, was approved unanimously by full City Council.
During his time in the City Council, Constantinides has worked on many pieces of environmental legislation. In 2014, the City Council unanimously passed his legislation to reduce carbon emissions by 80% by 2050. The legislation, now Local Law 66, was an integral part of Mayor de Blasio's pledge to make our City greener and the City Council's forward-thinking policy platform to strengthen this City's commitment to a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly future.
To help help achieve this commitment that will make New York more sustainable and environmentally-friendly, Constantinides has sponsored additional legislation to encourage more use of solar, geothermal energy, and biofuels:
INT 609, which would encourage the use of geothermal systems in buildings citywide
INT 642 which would increase the use of biodiesel in home heating oil
INT 359, which would study the adverse environmental impacts resulting from governmental policies and programs in environmental justice communities
INT 54, which increases the use of biodiesel in city ferries to 20% by 2020
INT 703, which would open the city's cooling centers on days when poor air quality may put our most vulnerable at risk of harm.
As Committee Chair, Constantinides plans to continue make the City more sustainable and energy efficient. He will work to implement policies that raise awareness of climate change and lower reliance on fossil fuels. He also plans to partner with the Department of Environmental Protection and Mayor's Office of Sustainability to implement Mayor De Blasio's OneNYC plan, which aims to make New York more environmentally friendly and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
"I appreciate the Council and Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito's faith in me with this new Chairmanship," said Constantinides. "I look forward to continuing our vision to make our City greener and more sustainable. We have already made great strides in environmental policy and I plan to help us push even further in reducing our carbon emissions and combating climate change. The stakes are high for our City and our planet, and continued bold policy relating to our environment will lead us to stronger, sustainable NYC."
"Council Member Constantinides has a strong record of achievement on environmental issues, such as passage of the '80 by 50′ greenhouse gas reduction plan," Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito said. "I look forward to his continued leadership in making New York City as green and environmentally friendly as possible."
Constantinides has a long record of environmental accomplishment prior to taking office. He spent six years working with former Council Member James F. Gennaro, then-Chair of the Environmental Protection Committee. They helped to fight hydraulic fracturing in New York State and passed legislation expanding the City's use of alternative fuels, legislation that helped green buildings, and legislation that improved air and water quality.
The appointment was supported by environmental advocates.
"Councilmember Costa Constantinides is the perfect choice to become Chair of the City Council's Environmental Protection Committee," said Eric A. Goldstein, NYC Environmental Director at the Natural Resources Defense Council. "He has been a long-time advocate for strong environmental safeguards, going back to his work as a community activist and as legislative director to former-Environmental Protection Committee Chair Jim Gennaro. He cares deeply about protecting his Astoria constituents and New Yorkers more generally from the impacts of climate change and from local air pollution sources. He has first-hand experience in fighting to keep our city's drinking water supply safe and affordable. He understands how to get things done in government. And we know that he will be a worthy successor to former Environmental Protection Committee Chair Donovan Richards, who remains a great friend of the environment and is fortunately keeping his seat on the committee."
"Council Member Constantinides has been a fierce advocate for the environment, championing legislation to codify New York City's '80 by 50′ greenhouse gas emissions reduction pledge into law and earning a perfect 100% on NYLCV's City Council Scorecard. We look forward to working closely with him in his new role to create a greener, healthier, and more equitable city," said Marcia Bystryn, President of the New York League of Conservation Voters.
Constantinides was previously the Chair of the Council Sub-Committee on Libraries. As Chair during this past year, he helped secure an increase funding of all three library systems by $39 Million. This increase allows for all library branches to be open six days per week, making resources available for more New Yorkers. He has also allocated funding for ADA accessibility upgrades at both library branches within Astoria, making inclusive for all residents. In doing so, he has widened the reach of the Queens Library into various underserved communities within the district.
Council Member Costa Constantinides represents the New York City Council's 22nd District, which includes his native Astoria along with parts of Woodside, East Elmhurst, and Jackson Heights. He serves as the chair the City Council's Environmental Protection Committee and sits on six additional standing committees: Civil Service & Labor, Contracts, Cultural Affairs, Oversight & Investigations, Sanitation, and Transportation.

How much does a burial cost?
07 Mar 2019 | 3 min read time
New blog image for slug how-much-does-a-burial-cost
Funeral costs in the UK are as high as they have ever been. In its annual Cost of Dying Report (2018), insurance company SunLife reported the average amount paid for a basic funeral last year had reached £4,271.
The total cost of every basic funeral is made up of funeral director fees - which account for most of the final bill - disbursements or payments to doctors and an officiant, plus the cost of burial or cremation and the associated service.
SunLife's headline figure represents a combined average cost for both burials and cremations, factoring in the cost of burial or cremation, a coffin, funeral director services, and doctors' and celebrant fees. But at £4,798, the average cost of a burial is significantly higher than the average cost of a cremation - more than £1,000 less at £3,744.
Looking only at the direct costs, SunLife reports the average for a burial as almost three times more than the direct costs for a cremation, averaging £2,174 compared with £832.
Burial costs rising faster
Since SunLife started to track average funeral costs in 2004, the overall average has more than doubled. The increase in cremation costs is slightly lower at 116%, with burials up by 127%. That means over the last 15 years the average costs of a burial has risen from £2,112 to £4,798.
Over the last 10 years, burial costs have increased nationally by almost 80%, compared with just over 70% for cremation. But this national average hides significant variations in the cost of burials in various parts of the UK.
According to SunLife, the cost of a burial increased in 8 out of 10 regions in the UK last year. The biggest rise was in Scotland. Price drops were recorded in the East and West Midlands.
London is the most expense place in the UK to be buried with costs as high as £7,538, almost 60% above the national average. The least expensive place in the UK to be buried is Northern Ireland where the cost of a funeral with a burial is £3,240, almost a third lower than the national average.
Additional costs for burial
The discretionary costs associated with a funeral, including cars, flowers, venue hire and catering, are the same for burial or cremation. However, the cost of a memorial can add further to the final price of a burial. Sun Life reported the average spending on memorials at £824 in 2018.
The higher cost of burial accounts, at least in part for the steady decline in the number of burials in recent years in the UK, with more than 75% of all funerals in the UK in 2017 being cremation.
Factors of convenience - the flexibility to choose a final resting place - have also influenced the growing popularity of cremations. The decline in traditional funeral services, reported by 64% of funeral directors surveyed by Sun Life, has also played a part in the falling number of burials.
Equally, practical considerations, including a shortage of grave sites in some areas has also impacted burial numbers. More than 40% of the funeral directors surveyed for Sun Life's 2018 Cost of Dying report said there was a shortage of grave sites; the problem is particularly notable in London.
Shortage of space is believed to be a major factor in the increasing costs of burials, alongside cuts to local authority funding and reduced spending on cemetery upkeep.
The one area of growth for burials in the UK is in Woodland burials. Woodland or natural burial is seen as an environmentally friendly option to both traditional burial and cremation. From the first natural burial site opening in the early 90s in Carlisle, there are now more than 250 sites around the UK.
Woodland burial usually avoids the use of the chemicals used in embalming and generally require a biodegradable coffin. Headstones are swapped out for trees or flowers and often friends and family come to see the entire wood as the memorial for their loved one.
Despite a general fall in the number of burials in the UK, it is likely that the number of Woodland burials in the UK will rise as concern for the environment grows.
Planning ahead for your funeral lets you manage your funeral costs better. With the price of funerals rising every year for the last 15, having a pre-paid funeral plan can help protect you against future prices rises and save your family from financial stress at a very difficult time.
